2020 NCSQ Meet - 6-7 November 2020 Near Pulaski Virginia (new)

[Afghan Vet]

I'm starting a new thread (and re-directing the previous thread to this one) so there is less chance of confusion. I've experienced this in the past with change of location on the same scheduled date.......doesn't always goes smoothly.


Reason for the change of date

As you know, there is a little Pandemic going on right now, and will be through May unfortunately. So, I'm pushing this out to November......after Finals (if there will be some) and before the Holidays. We will play it by ear.....hopefully we won't be in the 2nd or 3rd wave of COVID-19 at that time.


Reason for the change of venue

Well, this change of date encroached on the meet up that Ian typically throws in the Fall in Virginia - so this is partly due to the change to a couple hours North of my house. A few of us had a mini-meet in February, and it is a good spot. The park is 5 minutes from I-81, for reference here is the address 5100 Alexander Rd, Dublin, VA 24084. I imagine in November the park should be fairly empty, and there are shelters with power available. There are 2 or 3 hotels right across the highway as well along with a bunch of restaurants.

I passed my CPIM 2 test

I came home to get my stuff, but if I leave right now, that'll put me in Knoxville during 5:00 traffic...and I'll probably be too late and tired to hang out tonight. I think imma take a nap and just plan on getting to the hotel around 10

Apparently the car wash in Dublin is terrible - this one should be better

Well I was hoping to make it down tomorrow but unfortunately work is getting in the way. Looks like it's going to be a great day as well. Was really looking forward to meeting some of you and listening to some great cars. My system could have used some good ears to help me out as well.

Have fun and I will hopefully try and make the next one.

BTW, I was exhausted when I got back to the hotel, so I went to bed at around 8 and woke up at 3am. I decided to go ahead and hit the road, so I was home by 10am. Just as I was typing up a response, the internet went out and is still out.

I'm pissed I missed this and the chance to meet you guys and especially Nick from SI. I can't wait to see pics and whatnot. Maybe for the next one I'll have something to share. Who knows what the fates hold.

Agreed, was an excellent meet, the weather, location and company were all perfect and you only called me Frenchie once at the end of the day! John and I drove down Friday afternoon, other than southbound I81 being closed due to a wreck, was a fairly uneventful drive. We met up with Jason, Ryan and Bo at Al's and had an an enjoyable dinner, staying at the restaurant until it looked like we might actually get asked to leave. The next morning met up with Ryan and Jason at Waffle House for breakfast, which apparently is one of, if not the only place in town (outside of a gas station) where you can get coffee.

I managed to also get a demo in nearly every vehicle, the exception being unfortunately Bo's much changed BRZ and Mic's Acura. I took a few pictures, thought I had taken more to be honest...

Overall a really great time to spend a Saturday and looking forward to next time.
